We are doing fact families in Math as the students understand the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Test Thursday!
I was very pleased with the Reading tests that the class took last week. They are tested on vocabulary and comprehension. One group did a Venn Diagram comparing 2 stories. Great Work Everybody!
We are continuing with Stations of the Cross each Friday. Students will be painting the Stations this week.
Look for their murals in the hallway outside our classroom.
The First Grade Food Drive is ongoing. We already have several donations.
Our Lenten Service Project this week is stained glass crosses that will be sent to Sr. Margaret and Sr. Pat. I will ask them to distribute them to the sisters in the infirmary.
Wednesday is a Teacher Conference Day so there is no school! Enjoy!

I marched in the Wallkill St Pat's Parade with MPB earlier in the day. We have a wonderful school community and I am very proud to be a part of it.
Thank you to Dave Cocks from Walden Savings Bank for visiting us on Thursday to talk about banking.
Thank you also to Mr. & Mrs. Barry for their visit on St. Patrick's Day to talk about Ireland, St. Patrick and other Irish Saints. What a treat for the First Grade!
Those mischievous leprechauns visited our room on St. Patrick's Day and really messed things up. They did leave us some treats and Lucky Charms for breakfast. Carter even brought in his spy gear to try and catch them......but they are way too quick for us!
Thank you for all the "green treats" you sent in!

Week of March 7th- March 11th!
I hope your weekend was as enjoyable one.
Wednesday, March 9th is Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent. We will have a LENTEN CROSS OF KINDNESS in our class and when Mrs. Abate or I see the students doing or saying something kind to someone else they will color a portion of the cross. We hope the cross is fully colored by Easter. We will be doing many activities during this Easter season.
We will begin Chapter 10 in Religion which is the introduction of the Holy Spirit and Pentecost.
Our test will be next Monday, March 14th.

Our Dinosaur projects are due back on Tuesday, March 8th. The students will share these Reading projects with the class.
Please read each night with your child!
We began our unit on subtraction and the class wrote great subtraction stories. We will have a test Friday on basic subtraction and word problems.
Thank you to Mrs. Gayton for visiting our class and telling us about her job as a nurse. Mrs. Reinhart will be coming on Friday.
We will be creating our own community and will begin planning that this week.
We began discussing Recycling, Reusing and Reducing on Friday and the students had to come up with ways to reuse newspapers, water bottles and egg cartons. What great ideas they came up with!
Each child will need an empty, clean 2 liter bottle. We'll be reusing them to make windsocks.
May God bless you and those you love this holy Easter season.
